Welcome/Welcome back, you crazy diamonds!

[An island! This is most certainly not where everyone was just a few moments ago. ...Alright, maybe some of you were on an island. Don't get cheeky.

At everyone's feet is a small note. It gives no description of their location or explanation, of course; it only says one simple thing.

Please choose one.

The note comes along with three Pokéballs with different "starter" Pokémon in them- the three Pokémon can be anything, from a Froakie, Charmander, and Treecko to a Rattata, Patrat, and Bidoof if you're particularly unlucky- and everything in between. If it's not a legendary Pokémon, it's fair game.

Of course, you can only pick one! Trying to go for a second will leave you thinking that you better not get too greedy. If you're one of those types that wouldn't care either way, the other two Pokéballs will simply disappear.

Now go forth, and into a world of Pokémon!]

[If AZ were prone to wincing, he would have, at that.]

A worthy cause. An noble effort. It was bitter work, I might imagine.

I regret the mistakes that led to such hardship for you.

I would offer you recompense, little one, if it is within my power.

[A pause. Yes - if he'd never done any of that in the distant past, nothing would have happened. But...]
It would have been a different reality...
But - as long as you are learning the ways of this land, I think that will make me happy. Yes.

...Has your own friend come with you?
